KALEIDOSCOPE
“I am not pretty”, “I need to lose some weight”, “Why am I not tall enough?”, “If only I was light skinned”.
The list of complaints some people have
when they look in the mirror or when people make comments about them is
endless. The truth is, no one should define you or tell you who you are because
they didn't create you. You are to define yourself, say what you want to see in
your life and not what you've been told. This is not just any regular
motivational speech someone cooks up, this is the truth you have to know to
help set you free and help you live to your fullest potential in the confidence
you were created to have.
Mirrors were made so we can see our
reflections and know what to adjust right? The thing is mirrors do not show who
you really are (those potentials inside of you), they just show your current
state or situation and the truth is sometimes you may feel disappointed by what
you have seen or
maybe if you are lucky, you would feel happy with what you have seen. The question is ‘but for how long?’
All the mirrors in the world put together
cannot define you
or fix your self esteem no matter how many times you adjust or correct those
flaws. Each time you are faced with harsh confrontations from someone trying to
put you down or a bad situation you have tried so hard to get out of, you end up seeing something negative
about yourself.
Life
is a kaleidoscope; the angle from which you look at it (life) determines what
colours you get to see. Bright, dull, white, black, rainbow or nothing….it all
depends on you. If there’s a perfect mirror you can look at, a mirror that no matter how bad
you think you look shows you a really perfect image of how much greatness you
have. Wouldn’t you get that mirror? Then why have you neglected what God’s word (the
perfect law of liberty) says about you?
As you behold him as in a glass (mirror),
you are changed from glory to glory…..you’d get to see yourself the way God sees you. No flaws, errors, just
total perfection. Life shouldn’t define you. Let the perfect mirror do just that.
